From the Guardian:

Rafa Benitez is keen on Carlo Ancelotti's job at Chelsea.

The Guardian says former Liverpool boss Benítez will express an interest in managing Chelsea if Roman Abramovich, as anticipated, opts to part company with Ancelotti this summer.

Chelsea would offer him an attractive opportunity at a club competing in the Champions League – the Londoners still harbour some hopes of retaining their league title – and the 51-year-old is understood to be keen to be considered should Ancelotti's two-year period in charge end next month.

Abramovich and the club's chief executive, Ron Gourlay, will be aware of his interest but will not make a decision on the Italian's future before the end of the current campaign.



Do you think Abramovich will be tempted? Seeing as Rafa has a good European record and Chelsea are desperate to win a CL title?

He may or may not. That greedy Russian Mafia can always sign a manager and replace him with another if things dont work out. All i can say is Gd luck!

Yep, just like Rushie and nothing like H;gog, who is bone idle!

The closer we get to the tranfer window the more ridiculous these will become!

Liverpool add Mel Johnson to their scouting desk

Last Updated: Apr 24, 2011


Liverpool have strengthened their scouting department ahead of a critical summer transfer window by employing the man responsible for bringing Gareth Bale to Tottenham Hotspur.

Mel Johnson has been placed in charge of southern England scouting in a revamped Anfield recruitment system devised by Damien Comolli, the club's director of football strategy. Johnson previously worked under Comolli at Tottenham, where he highlighted Bale's performances as a teenage reserve at Southampton ahead of an eventual £7 million (Dh42.4m) transfer.

Johnson, who has more than 25 years experience in football, was compensated for unfair dismissal after Harry Redknapp decided to replace him as chief scout with Ian Broomfield in 2009. He then worked for Newcastle United on a freelance basis.

Your very good at cutting and pasting.
